New Series Announcement
Savage Society of Emerald Hills is a dark (my darkest yet) series full of forbidden stories. Think father's best friend, step brother, priests, etc. It’s set in Emerald Hills, the fictional town located in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains (in the Pacific Northwest), and…
Crossed Souls Rewrites Are Done!
Phew, what a journey! It took me an entire month, but I did it. Crossed Souls is now 16,000 words longer and I think the story is so much better than the original version. For context, 16,000 words is essentially the equivalent of four extra chapters (though I didn’t actually add any new chapters). I know all of my books are longer than your average romance novel, but hey, I’ve never pretended like I’m not a wordy bitch.
Plotting
I’ve written eleven books, and in that time, I’ve had a different method for plotting every single one of them. As a writer, I struggle a ton with perfectionism and I also have what I’m guessing is a raging case of undiagnosed ADHD on top of a type-A personality that drives even me crazy.
So, what does that mean for my writing methods? Welllll….
Crossed Souls Rewrites: Progress Update
I’ve been working my way through Crossed Souls and tweaking the story to correct some things I should’ve put in the first time around. Currently, I’ve added about 7,000 words to the story and I’m working on chapter nine.
Dulls vs. Extras
Remember when I talked about how my world building was basically trash in Crossed Souls? I’ve had to do a lot of exploring of the world in my head to figure out all sorts of little details of Willa and the guys’ world to change while I’m doing rewrites.
One of the things that kept coming up was the question do the humans know supernaturals exist?
Postponing Emerald Hills Elite
I don’t know if you noticed but Twisted Little Games has disappeared from Amazon and my website. It’s not cancelled.
I’ve mentioned this in other blog posts I’ve done recently, but I’ve decided to postpone the Emerald Hills Elite series, but just for a little while.
Crossed Souls in the Making
I mentioned in my last post that Crossed Souls had started in my head as something so much different than it turned out to be when I wrote it. Originally, I imagined Willa as a sort of Cupid-like character. She was compelled to help everyone around her find their soulmates while not having one of her own and she was definitely bitter about it.
Twisted Little Games - Plot
Every book I write, my actual process of writing the book changes just a little bit. Well, I guess that’s not true—sometimes it changes a LOT.
Emerald Hills Elite Behind the Scenes
The Emerald Hills Elite series has been on my mind for a looong time. I don’t know if reverse harem academy books are still popular or not, but they’re a trope I love to read (and have loved to read for a while now). I’ve really itched to write my own story, put my own spin on the subgenre and so that’s where the idea for this series came from.
Twisted Little Games - Prep Work
Now that Hostile is finished and out in the wild, it’s time for me to start working on my next project. I thought it would be fun to update you as I go, giving you a behind the scenes look into my process of plotting and writing the first book in the Emerald Hills Elite series.
Hostile is Live!
Today for me is extra fun because two is my lucky number, so what better day for Hostile to make its debut?
That’s right, Indy and Penelope’s story is LIVE! Have you downloaded your copy yet?
